🇬🇧 La Marine: My Parisian Canteen Since 20 Visits Ago! 🥖✨
📍 5Bis Quai de Valmy, 75010 Paris (Not London – Oops!) This canal-side bistro does classic French right – no fuss, no fails, just steak-frites, daily specials, and natural wines that keep me coming back like it’s my local tabac. ❤️ Why I’m Loyal ✔️ Plat du Jour that never disappoints (Tuesday’s blanquette de veau = heaven) ✔️ 24/7 vibes – post-work charcuterie or 3am croque-monsieur? Oui. ✔️ Canal St-Martin strolls post-meal (mandatory ice cream stop at Du Pain et Des Idées) 🍽️ Menu MVPs 🥩 Entrecôte + Béarnaise ✔️ Crisp fat, bloody center, fries that crunch 🐟 Daily Fish ✔️ Whatever’s fresh + sauce vierge (tomato-herb magic) 🍷 House Red ✔️ €5 glass of Loire Cab Franc – peppery perfection 💡 Pro Tips ✔️ Table 22 = best people-watching over the canal ✔️ No reservations = weekday lunches = no wait ✔️ Practice your French – servers play along 🚇 Getting There ✔️ Jacques Bonsergent metro (3min walk) ✔️ Vélib bikes dock right outside #ParisBistro #LaMarine #CanalStMartin #FrenchClassics #NoReservations #ParisEats #NeighborhoodGem #WineAndDine
